# Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint

The Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint is a Group 1 horse race that is part of the Carreras de las Estrellas and is open to horses three years old or older. It is run over a distance of 1000 metres (0.62 mi) either on the turf at Hipódromo de San Isidro or on the dirt at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.

## History

The Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint was added to the Carreras de las Estrellas in its second year, 1992. That first year, the race was restricted to three-year-olds only. Since then, the race has been run under a variety of age conditions, as follows:
* Three-year-olds: 1992
* Two-years-old and up: 2009–2011
* Three-years-old and up: 1995–2008, 2012–2019, 2021–
* Four-years-old and up: 1993–1994, 2020
The Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint is inspired by the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
The winner the first year, Gold Spring, had won the inaugural Gran Premio Estrellas Junior Sprint the year before. This feat has since been accomplished by 2002 winner Mister Phone (won 2000 Junior Sprint), 2015 winner Feel the Race (won 2014 Junior Sprint), and 2023 and 2024 winner Labrado (won 2022 Junior Sprint).
In 2012, the Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint was restricted to winners only.
